Even so, he didn't look confident about reversing. It would have been nice having a driver's mate or at least looking at the road before turning round.
@@mipamat5804 if u lower the lift axle u get less traction! If u have a load on and more than 4t on the pin u can push a button and the lift will come up until u get to 20mph! I find locking the diffs helps!
#1 I don't see a problem, the guy is indicating, and driving carefully, how else do you expect him to get around the r/bout, cut across three lanes until he gets to the junction he wants and then cut back across to leave. And blasting your horn is being patient I assume.
@terrystratford1235 No, it doesn't give priority . But it does give clear indication of intentions. So the muppet saying I'm patient then blasting his horn clearly shows he isn't.
By the look of it the roundabout is a spiral type. If you get in the correct lane on approach you don't have to change lanes and you get off where you want to go.
Im sorry but the narration at @4:02 is a bit short sighted. Talking about whether the lorries should be down that road or not? The big brick building says Aldi on it, the truck says Aldi on it. You don’t need to be a DCI to figure out why they’re using that road.
Should see the McDonald's car parks I have to reverse a full size trailer into whilst car drivers duck round the back of me whilst I'm still moving. Great fun.
Although, the truck 100 point turn around, despite the on screen comments, I'm impressed that he got out. Patience, and skill. Thank heavens he made it :)
One of the most shocking displays of driving I've ever seen, he deliberately damaged someone's house in his panic to get out. It was very clear he was never going to spin it without hitting a building. Just because he got out in the end doesn't excuse his piss poor judgement.
@@macky4074we have all got to start somewhere and it’s very easy to criticise watching the video but try and put yourself in his position. I’m not condoning what he’s done he’s just learnt the hard way and probably won’t do it again at least for a while. Most importantly nobody was injured and no major damaged caused
@_matty I've been in similar positions it's part of the job. But the fact is that was a shocking bit of driving regardless if he was new or not. Put yourself in the position of the homeowner who could have easily have ended up with serious structural damage to their house because someone was too scared to reverse himself out of a tricky situation. Like I said, it was piss poor judgement to do what he did, but hopefully it's a lesson learned.
"Trucks that big shouldn't be driving down roads like that in the first place" Did you miss the fact that the lorry is towing an Aldi trailer, and there is an Aldi directly behind him? Should he have unloaded a mile up the road instead? Yes he should definitely be driving down there as that's where he needs to be. The only problem here is that not nearly enough effort has been put into clearing the road, when they know a lorry would have to go down there
So much wrong with your response I don't even know where to begin... It is upto Aldi to ensure that the vehicles they are providing are suitable to get to the supermarket. If they needs to send two smaller lorries that are capable to navigate the road conditions getting to the supermarket, then that is what THEY should do. My understanding is the local authority is only responsible for ensuring main roads are gritted though I don't know exactly where this was and happy to be provided with a copy of the local authority democratically agreed policy on gritting. I have lived down a lane that has NEVER seen a gritter EVER and it is MY responsibility to ensure I can get along it in poor weather. Now of course if you want to donate a very large sum of money to the local authority to pay for them to grit the side roads then I am sure they would very much welcome that. If I was a local resident I would be asking Aldi to repair the significant damage to the grass verge, where I think Highways are responsible for the at least the first 1m. I sincerely hope that the community charge payers will not have to fund the repairs through the local authority. When planning consent is given for supermarkets, there are often conditions that apply and my understanding is that traffic management is one of them. Aldi want to make huge profits from this supermarket but seem to be unwilling to ensure they can access it correctly in poor weather. I would be very interested to see what planning conditions apply for this site.
@Iamwangdong Well that was a very interesting response. And thankyou for confirming what I long suspected that lorry drivers, who are ultimately responsible for abiding by the law when driving their vehicle choose not to. I strongly suspect this is because you are under pressure to do what your employer requests so they can maximise their profits. And thankyou for admitting your guilt in ignoring weight limit signs. I'm sure the highways authority who are funded by the local community charge payers really appreciate this and the potential damage this can do to the roads and infrastructure. Can I please ask that you don't bring your vehicle to North Lincolnshire. And if you want to call this nimbism then that is your perogative. As for getting goods to local supermarkets, we have a local Tesco and as part of the traffic management plan agreed with the local authority when planning permission was granted that limits the size of the vehicle they can us for deliveries. The supermarket is located on a very narrow road, with very limited pavement on just one side and is very near to a primary school so that at certain times of days there are young children walking on the pavement. These agreements are in place to ensure the business can provide a valuable service to the community, ensure deliveries don't disrupt a key road and ensure pedestrians are safe. I would be very interested to know if you would be prepared to state how many of these you would uphold. I suspect it will only be the first one, for which you and your company are financially rewarded for. I don't think you are too bothered about the 2nd and 3rd requirement. Thankyou for being a shining example of the human race at it's best.
@@sarahmills7878 Using a pallet truck, hand operated usually although electric ones are available, would have taken him ages. Did you mean a fork lift truck?
There's no gritting because council services have been cut back to the bone marrow. Very little in this country works anymore, everything is underfunded, and under-resourced because any staff you would hire are being underpaid and think sod that. Happy to help.
Driver is in the wrong. Should the area's traffic commissioner see this, then it is goodbye C+E, he is trying to decide the vehicle in front of his speed. (Oh, I'm a lorry driver and driving assessor)
@@Ben31337l driving slow and driving safe are two different things, don’t get me wrong I understand we’re HGV drivers are coming from, maybe the whole delivery system needs to change. As it sounds like deliver at any cost including loss of life of at best damage to property. Then the M way gets shut at even more cost. I wish I had the answer.
First video with the red artic. The artic was on a right turn lane it’s safer for any large vehicle to stay on left lane and not change lanes right to left.
The horn is there to warn other road users of your presence, it is not there to express your view that someone else's driving is not up (or down) to your standard. If you had time to blow the horn, you also had time to avoid the situation or deal with it. Dashcams are a very useful thing but don't forget that they can show who is the idiot and it may not be the other driver. A moment's thought, or a bit more restraint and patience and the accident that will affect everyone involved for months or even years can be avoided. You need to concentrate on your own driving, then you can deal with the other drivers' mistakes.
The lorry on an icy hill, and the BMW struggling on the same hill, are why I refuse to drive in snow and ice, these days. Many years ago, in a Mk 2 Cavalier, I was going down a steep hill in snow and ice, couldn't slow down, and but for the grace of God would have finished up crashing with my parents as passengers. That time, I was able to manage a controlled skid into a small car park, and we all carried on safe and sound. Wouldn't trust myself to have the same luck again.
Yep, we don't go into these tight places from choice....the Council allow the shops and factories to open up without any thought to access....they don't see it as there problem
He had his indicator on the whole time. I know what he was doing here. By maintaining the outside lane he reduces the chance of trailer drag taking a car out on his right and also the chance of being undercut on the exit.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 Yes he had his indicator on which means he knew exactly what exit he was taking and knew what lane he should've been in unless he never passed his test. He's supposed to be a professional driver.🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@sarahmills7878you’ve clearly never made a mistake on the road then Sarah, or taken a wrong turn or found yourself in the wrong lane. you’re the first so congratulations!! Have you ever driven a class 1 vehicle on public roads by yourself out of curiosity? I would assume you have otherwise you wouldn’t be commenting. Obviously a very different ball game to driving a little car
If you look at that Aldi lorry clip can you see the Aldi in the background has little choice but to use that road. While I agree the council could give hotspots a bit more care while gritting I do think in the case of Aldi and all businesses where they have deliveries that they themselves should be gritting the roads in the immediate vicinity.
The clip at 1:25. First, go to the hardware store and buy a bag of hydrated lime. Spread the lime on the wheeltracks, then put the diff lock in. Select crawler gear and slowly pull out of the bog. Being a single drive, at least you have some maneuverability with the diff lock in.
the first clip... truck had its right indicator on so it wasn't really a "hunch"... you knew what was going to happen and just leaned on the horn because you were annoyed! according to the law, you must not use your horn in rebuke and only to use it to let other road users know of your presence...
Seeing as he'd already pulled the same stunt at the previous 2 exits I think it was a justified horn against a driver who clearly doesn't have a clue how lanes on roundabouts work!
@@hellobrah9159 And you are very confused as I only commented that 1 truck driver (Clements in the 1st clip) was in the wrong. You really should check your facts before making a comment.
@@hellobrah9159 My point is that you said I was giving out about all the truck drivers when in fact I only gave out about an extremely dangerous one. How long did you spend scrolling through the comments to see how many times I commented.
I’d just like to make a quick point, your intro always makes me feel like we’re a bunch of murderers being given free will. “Have your fun!” in that tone of voice is a bit unnerving for a dash cam compilation channel 🤣
I know the first roundabout VERY well indeed. The lorry should straddle the middle and right hand lane if it needs extra room to turn on that particular roundabout and is very dangerous to do what he did. As below shows... That first lorry on the video that went around the roundabout in the left lane.... a car did exactly the same thing on that exact roundabout when I was in the right lane going straight over and completely smashed into the side of my vehicle causing £6000 worth of damage to the whole side of my car! He was in the completely wrong lane at the start and the end of the clip. For extra context too I am also a class 1 lorry driver.
half of these movies here are absurd. the authors are looking for a scandal where there is none, and the owner of this channel is on an equal level with them
Lorries shouldn't be going down these roads. How do they deliver to the shops??? They don't magically appear on the shelves. I used to deliver to aldi's. Some shops situated in housing estates.
I used to drive class one, very early morning taking salt to depots before the gritters went out, if you think Scania traction is poor, try a Renault, mine would get stuck on a greasy chip.
The problem with UK lorry's and winter, is the company's that run the lorry's use summer, high mileage endurance, hard tyres. Tyres last 40000-60000 miles because of the way they are made. But when it rains or get cold they are too hard to give grip.
With regards to the clip with dkl I can understand the drivers frustration when following a car in traffic that insists on having 15 car lengths in front of it!
Do lorries not use winter tyres, could make all the difference. That lorry on the m25 was being held back by a middle lane hogger clearly going slower than the hgv.
If you look at the junction on street view you can see the damage he did when he hit the house and also thatif he kept driving straight he'd ahve reached a main road in just under 200 metres. Im gonna have to pass t he blame to the driver on this one.
The problem is too many stores want to open as many stores as possible, if aldi is in the area then lidl want to open a store etc and they dont give a bugger about the roads or local traffic management. They open stores in places were artics should not be going. Whilst the council should be gritting the roads i also think these stored shpuld have a duty to help out, they expect their wagons to deliver so they should shoulder some responsibility on days like that and make sure the road is clear for their trucks. Even their own car parks ate not designed properly, you see the poor drivers trying to get onto the loading dock with a full car park on a saturday morning. I'll stick to general haulage.
@@sarahann530 lmao, you need to learn how things work in the real world. I know some ex councilors, if you really knew what actually went on behind the scenes. most councils are ran by idiots with no clue about road planning & generally dont give two hoots as long as the big brown envelopes are well stuffed. Knobhead.
The first Aldi clip is from 2018, and the second Aldi clip is from around 2009/10. Both at the same Aldi in Bracknell. The road is the service road to the back of the store.
First dashcammer should have been toasted. I have my reasons. DKL knows car w.ankers will cut in front if there is a gap and that is equally as dangerous as tailgating, plus, the truck can see further ahead than a car in most cases so if he needs to brake he'll know in advance. Also looked like dashcammer slowed down on purpose towards the end - it takes forever for a truck to get up to speed compared to a car so slowing down just to be a dcik is a maggot move
Why? he was negotiaitng the roundabout safely indicating all the way round. perhaps he had never been in that neck of the woods before and didnt know the road layout. so he did nothing wrong. how many car drivers actually know how to use a roundabout correctly
I use that roundabout all the time in my truck. Yes, the lanes are marked, but if the cammer has sat there for a few minutes you would have seen no end of car drivers who have not got a clue how to go round that roundabout either!
@@JL-rx6hl He had his indicator on so he knew where he was going. He's supposed to be a professional driver and he doesn't know how to use a roundabout and obviously you don't either. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Shock horror.. good vehicles having to use smaller roads to make deliveries to the stores.. what ever next?.. Big ships having to use small docks to off load!.. Don't blame the wagon drivers.. These companies put their stores in ridiculous Palace's, The drivers often don't like delivering to them, just as much as the nimbys don't like the wagons delivering to them by using the roads leading to them..
